These forums will be hilarious if Next Xbox is more powerful than PS4

So you are taking 8GBs giving 2GB to the OS and 2-4GBs to the GPU where are the 2-4GBs you are leaving out?

The 2-4 left out is what would be used like RAM does in your computer. That would be the unshared part.

Can we get a price check(second opinion) on these hardware facts?

For some reason I'm finding it hard to understand your reasoning. Unsharred RAM, a whole 2GB for the OS, up to 4GB for some unknown other thing.

PS4 OS uses 52 MB.

Win8 uses around 500MB on 1GB RAM computers, and somewhere around 850 on computers with 8GB RAM.

Educated guess would be it will lock 1GB of RAM in the beggining, which will come down later.

EDIT: PS4/Nextbox memory usage will be much more efficient if AMD managed to make them fully HSA capable APU. In that case, if I understood tech correctly, GPU does not copies data for its usage, but can access directly same memory address space as CPU.
